A chateau of the XIIIth and XIVth century believed the previous home of the black prince during the hundred year war.
Charles VII is thought to have established his headquarters there for a few months.
Partly hidden by the vegetation that has taken possession of the premises, the ruins of the castle are listed as a historical monuments since June 24, 1948.
In the 14th century, the entrance was preceded by an Chatelet, the castle was fortified, with ramparts, which consisted of a house, a chapel, a dungeon (cave) and towers
The logis was redesigned in the XVIIth century. after the revolution, an important part of the ramparts was destroyed.
The chateau takes its name from its original owner Jovelle Dejean, after first visiting the chateau in 2012, I once again revisit this old haunt in 2013, the car it seems has since been uprighted, other items have been moved. it was very touching to find an old photo of its car in its heyday, now knowing itís a member of the family who once lived here...
